Quote by: Duke1985  I don't know I always thought hunting deer with a spear would be pretty cool.
I'd have to be fast, because the deer is faster, and the deer could maul me since I'd be on the ground all ancient hunter style. That sounds fair to me. |
A deer is really skitish. In all probability they would spook and dart before you even got within lethal throwing distance of them. And, I still don`t think a deer goring you is a significant risk. In most cases they prefer flight than fight.
Now, why don`t you try buffalo or grizzly or polar bear hunting with a spear? That would increase your chances greatly to experience the rush of adrenaline at the serious risk of a mauling. That sounds almost fair to me -- and you would be all ancient like and have a really good tale to tell. Imagine, a sure bet confrontation of might against bravery and skill, compared to a story of deer running away before you can even get close enough -- and after all that tramping through the woods getting bit by mosquitos and bugs and what not. The latter is very anti-clamatic.
